To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston Winona and Ryder are an adorable bonded pair of 9 month old kitten siblings. Here’s what their foster human says about them:   How would you describe the cat's general personality? They are both so sweet! They love attention and asks for pets everywhere, all the time. Winona has the cutest little meow and she LOVES catnip. Ryder loves belly rubs, and is very curios and gently, but it is a bit more shy than his sister.   Does the cat enjoy being pet? Oh yes, they both love pets! Winona has the softest fur I've ever touched. She feels like a chinchilla more than a kitty!   If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? Everywhere! Ryder particularly loves belly rubs – he flops over if you rub his back for a bit and offers up that cute tummy for as long as you'll pet it haha. Winona even likes to roll over for belly rubs sometimes and she has the softest chubby belly ever.   Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched? They’re not huge fans of ear rubs.   Does the cat come on your lap? Winona’s starting to! If I sit down on the floor in my fostering room, she has started to show interest in laying on my lap. She's just still a little wary I think. Ryder laid on my lap and I rubbed him all over 2 days ago for the first time. He loved it. His previous owner mentioned he loved to sit on her lap too.   Does the cat like to be held? I've picked Winona up a few times and so has my boyfriend. She lets us, but begrudgingly I think. She definitely could get used to it though I believe. Ryder’s okay with it. He might get a little scared at first but once I talk to him and reassure him and pet him, he starts to calm down. He doesn't love being held for long periods of time though, but I think he could be trained to like it.   Does the cat sleep in your bed? No, I keep my personal cats separated from my fosters.   Does the cat seek your attention? Winona would be attached to my hip if she could be, I honestly think. I have to leave her room so she'll actually eat her food and not just beg me for attention haha. Ryder also seeks attention whenever he can! He's a lot more whiny than his sister. He will yell at me soo much until I pet him a bunch or give him food lol. But it's a funny, cute meow at least.   Does the cat like to play? If you give Winona catnip, yes! Ryder hasn’t played with me yet.   What are the cat's favorite games and toys? Putting catnip on a scratcher bed is Winona’s favorite thing. She rolls all around and practically does somersaults lol. Ryder loves his cat tower. He seems to have fun climbing all over it and scratching at the posts.   How vocal is the cat? Winona yells at me for food often. And occasionally she'll yell at me for pets. Ryder’s more vocal than his sister, but not as vocal as my personal Siamese cat lol. He is very high pitched and can be a little needy.   What kinds of sounds does the cat make? Winona makes meows, but she can turn up the volume if she's really hungry haha. Ryder makes shrill meows, and little chirps and trills occasionally   Does the cat scratch a scratcher? Yes! I have a round scratcher bed and a few posts/pads that Winona loves. Ryder uses a scractcher too but not as much as his sister. He prefers the actual cat tower with its scratching posts built in.   Does the cat always use the litter box? Yes! They were originally surrendered because they wasn't using a robotic litter box. I have 2 regular boxes in the foster room for the siblings currently and they've not had a single issue using them.   What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? They eat royal canin indoor wet morsels, and royal canin dry kibble. About a cup of kibble between the two throughout the day, and 3-5 cans a day. Depends on their appetite that day.   Is the cat picky about food? Not at all. I've tried friskies and fancy feast wet food with them too, and they loved it just as much.   What is the cat's favorite treat? They both love Churu style treats!   Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances? Never. The first 2 days I had them, Winona did hiss gently a few times but hasn't since. But that’s been it for both of them.   Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you? Never.   Does the cat ever nip (teeth without breaking skin) you? Nope.   Has the cat ever bitten you (breaking skin)? Never.   To the best of your knowledge, how does the cat react to new people? Social? Fearful? Winona’s very friendly! I genuinely believe she loves people. She doesn't seem shy or scared of anything. Ryder’s a little more shy. But once he knows someone’s cool, he warms up so well. He's so affectionate with everyone he meets, it just takes him a few minutes.   Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions? I really just recommend doing that catnip on a scratcher bed thing for Winona. She goes crazy and it's so funny and cute. She's very roly-poly for a chunky cat haha. Ryder’s eyes are hilarious to me. They're HUGE and bright yellow. They are really pretty eyes, but he looks like an alien sometimes! It's so funny and cute.   In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt? Winona’s SO sweet and funny. Her fur is simply the softest ever. And she's just stunning in general. Ryder’s got so much love to give. He really does deserve a very kind owner who can give him as much attention as possible. He’s a sweetheart, you just need to show him that you're a safe person and that you love him too.   What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them? I was worried about the litter box, but they’ve been great about it. 2 boxes and scoop them at least once a day. And they’ve been doing fine using them Ryder’s very skittish when my dogs bark upstairs. I don't think he'd be great living with rambunctious/loud dogs like mine.

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston About Holly from her foster home: How would you describe the cat's general personality? Holly is a sweet cat that loves to receive attention and scratches! She is smart, curious, and is also a great sleeper that snoozes throughout the day. Does the cat enjoy being pet? Yes, Holly loves getting scratches and pets, and will often come up to you to get pets, especially in the morning and when I come back home from work. She will also accept scratches and pets when she is napping and will make biscuits in her half sleep, which is super cute. If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? She loves head, chin and cheek scratches the most! She will melt right into them. Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched? She doesn’t seem to enjoy touches on her lower back, or her paws. Does the cat come on your lap? She will step on me to get to things she wants but does not cuddle in my lap. Does the cat like to be held? Not particularly, but she tolerates it for short moments. Does the cat sleep in your bed? She likes to rotate where she sleeps, which includes the bed! In my bed, she liked to curl up on top of my legs or next to me. Sometimes, she will crawl up to my chest and sit there for a moment for extra attention. Does the cat seek your attention? Yes, definitely. She wants you to be near her in whatever activity she is doing, even when she is just napping. Sometimes, she will get whiny at night when I am going to sleep, as she realizes she will not be getting my attention anymore. Sometimes, she will jump into the bed with me and hang out nearby, get scratches, and make more biscuits. Does the cat like to play? Holly loves to play, but she gets tired of playing after she hunts the same object a few times. What are the cat's favorite games and toys? She likes to catch prey on a fishing rod, and then will play tug of war with me, until she drags across the floor! How vocal is the cat? Pretty vocal. She greets me hello in the morning or when I come back from work, and will meow loudly at nighttime when she wants attention. She can be very loud if she is feeling particularly whiny. What kinds of sounds does the cat make? Meows, chirps, hisses (rarely when she feels scared) Does the cat scratch a scratcher? Yes. Does the cat always use the litter box? Yes. However, she peed in a cardboard box twice, so I recommend not having empty cardboard boxes lying around the house. What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? She is currently getting 2 small cans of fancy feast cans daily (breakfast and dinner), and a little bit of dry food before I go to sleep. Is the cat picky about food? Holly is not picky about food, but she doesn’t eat all her portion of food in one sitting. She will eat a few bites at a time and come back to the food over many hours. What is the cat's favorite treat? Holly LOVES Churus. However, she will also enjoy other treats, such as the Greenies dental treats. Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances? Yes, when she is unhappy, and I try petting or touching her. Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you? Yes, when she is unhappy, more in the beginning when she was still adjusting to the environment. Does the cat ever nip (teeth without breaking skin) you? No. Has the cat ever bitten you (breaking skin)? No. To the best of your knowledge, how does the cat react to new people? Social? Fearful? Holly will be fearful of new people at first, especially if you are standing or leaning over her. She seems to dislike it when people tower over her. However, if you are willing to sit down, offer a hand to sniff, and give her space in her hiding corner, she will eventually come out to investigate. She will be more receptive of new people if they come with treats as well! Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions? Holly will nap and hang around her current nap spot for more than 80% of the day. I would say her favorite activity is napping! However, when I come by her nap spot to give her some scratches, she will drop down from her nap spot and follow me around to beg for more pets! She also likes to sit by the window and stare at cars zooming by. In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt? She is a very soft and pretty kitty that looks like a black fluffy teddy bear. If you want a cute, chill companion who is a big fan of attention and scratches, this cat may be for you! What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them? I haven’t had any big challenges fostering Holly. Small ones would include her peeing in cardboard boxes, which is easily avoided by not having empty cardboard boxes around, and her meowing at night for attention when I am trying to sleep.
